Christmas Dad portrait - a photo on Flickriver

Christmas Dad portrait

We had a mostly quiet Christmas this year as Mrs R (and just about everybody else) was sick with the (wo)man-flu. Father R came to visit though and so we did a bit of walking in the country in-between eating and drinking too much.

Highlights:

* Food: The Rutherford men cooked a chicken curry whilst Mrs R lay on the sofa shouting out key bits of advice - very tasty.

* Presents: I now have a bauble for the tree which says Stevie's 34th Christmas which is pretty cool. Mrs R has the Eddie Stobart lorry spotting book and my dad mostly received alcohol or chocolates. Oh and we have all 7 seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer which should keep us going for a while.

* Jokes: Q: What do you call a parrot with an umbrella? A: Polly unsaturated

Anyway, Merry Christmas to all. We're off to Barcelona to see in 2009 with a couple of good friends. Looking forward to it.

Strobist info: Two strobes/flashes here - (getting complicated now!) - One in a small softbox up and to the left, the other in an umbrella behind me to soften the shadows a bit. Much more interesting light than another version I did where I replaced the softbox with a larger umbrella.

Canon 40d, 50 1.4 lens, 1/125 @ f9.
